The First Times

First Meeting Demigods - Holidays Part 2

After the success of Chirstmas, Nico and Will decided to introduce Ana to the whole gang.

That included Clarisse, Rachel and Leo, among a few others.

Ana, who at first was really scared of being introduced to lots of new people, was suddenly waiting anxiously for New Year's. The reason she told her Dad and Papà was that Uncle Dylan and Aunt Reyna were going to be there and she could see the triplets. But she was very excited to meet a lot of new people too. She had a great time playing with Luke last time.

So, she kept asking how long until they left for the party.

"Papà, when do we leave for the party...?" Nico sighed and looked at her innocent and bright face. He knew she was doing it on purpose, but he had never seen her this excited or smiling since her 'accident' at school that leaded to this 'demigod disclosure' mess.

"Ana, me and Dad already told you we'll leave around 4... It's only 9am yet, so we have plenty of time to get ready and for you to take a nap..." Nico repeated to her, smiling softly. "You don't wanna be sleepy when the triplets come, right?" Ana shook her head and, as fast as she had arrived, she headed to her room and came out with a fluffy towel, confusing Nico. "What's with the towel?"

"I sleep better after a warm bath." She innocently explained, making Nico chuckle and help her to get a bath. Thirty minutes later, he was closing the door of her room, where she had actually fallen asleep for her nap, leaving him to do lunch and wait for Will, who had gone in a last-minute shift to the hospital.

When Will returned, he found Nico and Ana having lunch. Or finishing their lunch.

"Dad!" Ana greeted him, dragging him to the bath after a hug. Will, shocked, barely glanced at Nico before disappearing on the bathroom. "Shower and come eat lunch! You need to take a nap later, so we can stay awake for the party!" Will glanced behind Ana, seeing Nico's not-so-straight face and nodded.

"Right you are, Principessa!" Will agreed, before gesturing to take his clothes off. Ana squeaked and rushed out, leaving the adult laughing at her antics. "How excited is she?"

"I argued logically that she cannot fall asleep in the party to make her take a nap before lunch." Nico told him, looking proud. Will rolled his eyes at him.

"You realize she has to take another one after lunch, since she won't be able to stay up?" Nico's smile disappeared, replaced by grumbles and left the bathroom while Will shook his head, chuckling. Right after his fast-but-very-needed shower, Will found the members of his family waiting for him around the table.

"Feeling better, Daddy?" Will smiled and kissed Ana's forehead, before digging into lunch, where he started to tell Nico about the hospital and sorts. Though she fought it, the chat made Ana bored and sleepy and soon, she was closing her eyes while leaning on Will's side. He took her to their bed and let her sleep there.

Ana ignored that neither grown up took a nap, so she was full with energy when she woke up to get dressed. The adrenaline was too much for her and both Nico and Will could see so. The only downside of the party was that Naomi had gotten a hotel room near by- though everyone had insisted she stayed at the apartment -and they had to go pick her up.

From Nico's point of view, Ana had a couple of slinks on her. One on her butt and a couple on her cheeks. She could not stay still or stop smiling, no matter how hard she tried to stop it. She just couldn't. Grandma Naomi didn't help things when she appeared, as Ana transformed into a chatterbox about nonsenses. Nonsenses that Naomi took very seriously.

"We are here!" Nico announced, smirking. Not five seconds later, Ana had rushed to the door and rang the bell of the big house. Opening the door was a very familiar woman to all. "Hello, Reyna. Sorry we're early, but-"

"Aunt Reyna!" Ana cut in, hugging Reyna's legs, careful of not hurting the baby she was holding. "I've missed you at Christmas, but Papà said you and Uncle Dylan had to get used to three babies... I met Uncle Percy's baby, Luke and he's always getting into trouble! And Aunt Piper is huge! And Aunt Thalia was making joke to Uncle Jason, you should have seen it!"

The adult around her couldn't help but to laugh at her antics and were surprised how fast she delivered the events of Christmas to the Trentons. Once Ana saw little Eliana was sleeping on her mother's arms, she kept quiet and allowed everyone inside the house. Dylan, who was busy setting the table, soon found himself a helper in her little hands, while Reyna talked to the early guests.

"Like we were saying..." Will continued the apology from before. "...that bundle of energy couldn't keep still until she was here... She really wanted to be here..."

"It's always a pleasure to have you. You too, Naomi." Reyna thanked them, making Naomi smile.

"Don't worry, dear... Between me and Sally, and why not Tristan, we can give you plenty of advices..." The woman comforted the first-time mother, who sighed in relax. "I understand dealing with one, but three? Honey, I'll help you." That comment made Reyna chuckle while placing her baby on the crib along with her siblings.

"Dylan is without sleep since last night..." She confessed, making Will rush to Dylan's side to notice he was trying to stay awake listening to Ana.

"Sweetie, why don't we let Uncle Dylan to rest a little? We can help around, what do you say?" It didn't took a lot of convincing from Ana's side, as she nodded and guided her 'Uncle' to the couch.

"Don't worry, Uncle Dylan, if the babies wake up, I'll make them sleep." She promised, earning a smile from everyone around her. "You have to start the year with energy!"

"To eat your Aunt's food too!"

"That's Uncle Percy's job!"

Morning/afternoon/evening!

I will start by saying that I'm surprised. Surprised by what, you ask? Well, let me answer that with another question... Where the Hades has the year gone to?! That's right, I cannot believe that I'm already talking Christmas and presents and the amount of things we have to do in between!

Anyway, I rather not stress myself over that yet, so I'm contributing to your relaxing and normal Sunday schedule with today's posting!

The First Times: 1 chapter! Thank you for your comments, I value every single one of them! *kisses with blue chocolate chips cookies*
